Alphabet Games for Kindergarten

This toy designed for Kindergarten-age kids five years and older won the Parent's Choice - Recommended Award in 2012. Kids are entertained while learning letter names and sounds, developing memory skills, creating stories, and playing riddle games. There are 5 ways to play and it comes with 26 alphabet picture cards, 26 alphabet riddle cards, and guide. The trunk doubles as the game box for easy clean up.

According to Educational Insights, the 5 Ways to Play the Learning Alphabet Games include:

1. Which letter comes first? Take turns placing the letter cards in the trunk in alphabetical order.

2. Develop memory skills by taking turns repeating the sequence of cards already in the trunk, then ask your child to add one of their own and challenge others to remember and recite them all, in order.

3. To play Grandma’s Riddles, deal the cards, then read a riddle and race to see who has the letter card that answers it!

4. To build letter sequence memory skills, have kids deal the cards and take turns putting them in the trunk in alphabetical order, reciting the items already in the trunk and challenging others to remember and recite them in alphabetical order.

5. To play the Grandma’s Adventures game, place the letter cards in the trunk and take turns retrieving a card from the trunk to create a story together: “Once upon a time there was a grandma. She saw an iguana.”

JumpStart Toys, LLC Kindergarten Activites:

1. Ask your child to make the letter sound for each letter as they pull it from the trunk or put it in the trunk to help develop phoenetic awareness.

2. Ask each child to say a word that begins with that letter to build vocabulary skills.

3. For older or more academically advanced kids, ask them to say a word with the letter in it and then spell the word to develop vocabulary and spelling skills.
